Get granular LLM observability by instrumenting your LLM chains

The proliferation of managed LLM services like OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, and Anthropic have introduced a wealth of possibilities for generative AI applications. Application engineers are increasingly creating chain-based architectures and using prompt engineering techniques to build LLM applications for their specific use cases.

Why care about exception profiling in PHP?

A few months ago, we implemented support for exception profiling in PHP. One of the key justifications for building this functionality into Continuous Profiler was to show the hidden costs of exceptions in PHP, especially when they are used for flow control in hot code paths. Once this feature was built, we naturally wanted to know if it surfaced these kinds of flow control problems in customer production systems.

How to add Type Checking and Linting to your Playwright Project

If you bet on end-to-end testing or even synthetic monitoring, there’s a high chance that you use Microsoft's Playwright. And if you have Playwright in your toolchain, you probably adopted TypeScript, too. It's an easy choice because of its rock-solid auto-completion and type safety. With this setup, you can enjoy the beautiful DX (developer experience) and safely refactor your ever-growing code base without worrying about runtime exceptions because of TypeScript's type checking, right? Wrong!

Dynatrace vs New Relic - Which Tool To Choose?

Dynatrace and New Relic are popular monitoring and observability tools for monitoring your applications and infrastructure. In this post I have compared both Dynatrace and New Relic based on important features like application performance monitoring, log management, and infrastructure monitoring. Even though both tools offer a lot of similar features, they have some key differences. We’ll explore these differences to help you choose the tool that best fits your needs. Let's get started.

How to use the Grafana Geomap and Worldmap Panels

Grafana Geomap panels visualize geographical data on a map, making it easier to see spatial relationships and patterns. They are useful for monitoring metrics across different locations, such as server performance or application usage in various regions. The panels help identify regional issues quickly, allowing for faster troubleshooting and response times.

10 Features to Look for in a Fuel Management System for Your Fleet

With global fossil fuel prices set to continue rising well into the foreseeable future, vehicle fleet operations need to start looking into better ways to manage their fuel reserves. For most owners or managers, updating legacy systems to a modern fuel management system (FMS) with automation features can minimise fuel-related overheads with minimal capital required. More compellingly, a modern fuel management system can pay for itself within less than a year, making these products worth the investment for certain fleets.
